| #1 Interesting. Getting four boomjackets together and four guys ready to do the deed to Christians suggests a pretty substantial organization. But if they'd wanted to make a bang, so to speak, they'd have used more guys, which the organizing of the thing suggests they could have found. Not getting this. |
